Hi there.
Now with analytics, it motivated me to improve the flow of acquisition for my MVP.
Due to not having full GDPR compliance in Glide (we know it’s coming) I’ve created a homepage with carrd.co to have as a nice landing page to send new users. This way I get to explain the proposition whilst capturing consent.
At the top I have an email submission with T&C’s regarding the website and app.
From Carrd.co I send and email to zapier with the user’s email on the subject (it also allows to send directly to zapier).
There I have a zapp receiving the email and creating a row on my users sheet with the user’s email (I have email whitelisted pro account)
On form submission I redirect to the app url and the user enters the email and receives the PIN.
I have just implemented this but I assume it’s going to impact my conversion quite significantly as I was manually sending emails to people in bulk.
It will also allow me to track better in google analytics.
@Sandro_Brito Thanks for sharing your way of handling consent from users
Please be aware that GDPR is quite a lot more than obtaining consent. You need amongst other to be able to be in control of the data that the user submits to you - and you must be able to remove it if the user requests that. If you make the user upload photo in a form the photo is stored directly at Glides server, I believe. You cannot delete this information yourself and the only way, to my knowledge, Glide will be able to do that is to complete remove your app.
I really do hope that Glide comes up with a fully thought-through concept for GDPR. Many of the templates exposed by Glide do use personal data and I cannot see how you as developer willl be able to fulfil the GDPR regulations.
Thanks for that.
I am aware of all those rights of gdpr like the right to be forgotten. I am using glide as a platform for an MVP. If I get people asking that I will manually remove them and then request Glide to remove them too.
Once I get validation of my idea, I’ll move into a full
Mobile build where I have the control over everything.
